	abstract = {<p>SBA-16 mesoporous silica with cubic lm3m structure was synthesized using Pluronic F127 poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer (EO106PO70EO106) and it blends with Pluronic P123 triblock copolymer (EO20PO70EO20) as supramolecular templates. The resulting material was used for encapsulating [Ru(salen)(NO)] complex and used in the hydrogenation of ketones to the corresponding alcohols. The pore entrance size of SBA-16 was precisely tailored by silylation with diphenyldichlorosilane to trap [Ru(salen)(NO)] complex in the cage of SBA-16. Small angle XRD, N-2 sorption measurements, UV-Vis and FT-IR analysis evidences the structural integrity of mesoporous silica as well as the complex. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Metal-support interfaces play a very important role in heterogeneous catalysis. The interfacial interactions not only are responsible for stabilizing the necessary oxidation state to facilitate the reaction but also enhance the stability of the catalyst system. Nano dispersion of Ni on mesoporous nitrogen-rich carbon material has been achieved using two different synthesis methods. It was observed that nickel (0) gets stabilized by strong interfacial interaction with the nitrogen atoms of the support material, and the material was found to be very economic and efficient for the conversion of HMF to DMF in aqueous medium. The material shows \&gt;= 99\% conversion to 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) within 6 h of reaction with 98.7\% DMF selectivity. A unique correlation between synthesis methods and particle sizes with catalytic performance has been observed for these newly developed materials. Furthermore, a DFT calculation has been performed to predict the reaction mechanism. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.</p>},
